Lifetime!!! - I did it, Megan!

I've been tightening my belt pretty tight these past two weeks. I've learned that this isn't such a good idea. It makes me feel like I've gained weight and then I feel insecure when I go in to weigh in. No matter how well I eat and watch my intake, I still feel like I've gained.

Tonight I was so unsure that I asked if I could use the scale at the doctor's office when I took B in for his appointment. I was given the green light, so when no one was looking, I stepped on. I was very happy with the numbers. I had lost weight this past week--miraculous--especially considering the shrimp thingy I indulged in yesterday.

I decided that I was going to give myself a break tomorrow morning and let myself sleep in, so I drove straight over and hit the 5:15 meeting. I had made lifetime.

What this means for anyone who hasn't participated in Weight Watchers before, is that you set a goal and once you hit that goal, you must stay within two pounds of that weight for six weeks. Today was the sixth week for me. I now can stop paying for Weight Watchers. I have to weigh in once a month to keep current, and if I'm within that two pounds, I don't have to pay ever again. If I fall outside of that goal, I will have to pay for one meeting--this is somewhere around $12. Once I get back into the goal, I stop paying again. At least this is how I understand it to be. The woman who weighed me tonight didn't give me my booklet, so I'm going off what I've read on the Weight Watchers website.

If I could take a photo of myself without tossing it, I'd show you here, but you'll have to take my word for it. I just can't stand to see myself in pictures. I lost a total of 24.6 pounds and started back on May 3rd.
